• Depends on:
– Amount consumed in a given time
– The drinker’s size, sex, body build and metabolism – The type and amount of food in the stomach

32
Q

carbonation in drinks

A

Carbonation in the alcoholic beverage or mixed with the alcohol beverage increases BAC significantly.
• CO2 speeds the alcohol through the stomach and intestine into the blood stream, causing a rapid rise in BAC
